The Titan Network is in talks with NCSoft regarding a community-run City of Heroes server. Things are looking positive, so stay strong. We don't have a timeline right now, but we'll provide more updates as soon as we can. #SaveCoH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyn_YuMLSNc

I got to Asgore with 0 EXP and then I did the fight. I had the worn knife on me that I found as well as the heart locket. I did the fight and spared Asgore and of course Flowey killed him and then I battled Omega Flowey and I had to attack him as well. I spared him. I did not do the date with Pap...

I recently made a boo-boo and lost my entire save file along with all backups. I was able to recover my save using a file recovery tool but the regions where all of my buildings are do not load either in game or in MCEdit and when I try to open the file with NBTExplorer it says "Not a valid regio...

Q: Unable to have people join my realm (1.14)

I highly doubt there to be an answer here, but I've checked everywhere else and haven't found much, so I figured I would check prior to submitting a bug report. I run a Realm that works as a modified SMP (it's an SMP but with like, events, a shop, etc). It's one of two SMP Realms that my Discord...

Q: What's the point of the gifts from my friends?

The more I make buns for my friends the more they give me gifts and things but I can't figure out if they're useful for anything. Are the gifts from my friends useful, or are they just decorative collection things?

@Frank Nice little update.

OKAY, PANIC.

We are moving Talent, Mail, and other internal services over now. /jobs and friends will be read-only for a bit.

Various parts of the Stack Exchange Network (including Stack Overflow) will be read-only and temporarily offline while we migrate their databases over sometime during the next half hour or so - we're starting our run now.

Tweeted by StackStatus on April 24, 2019 at 12:15 AM

We are now in read-only move while we move applications over to the new cluster and failover our distributed availability groups. We expect to do so and bring Stack Overflow and friends back online in the next 10-15 minutes.

Tweeted by StackStatus on April 24, 2019 at 12:31 AM

We're failing over the last database group (everything outside Stack Overflow on Q&A) now.

Tweeted by StackStatus on April 24, 2019 at 1:06 AM

@StackStatus We are going read-write across the network now that failover has completed. There are a few errors to tidy, but that should be all the user-facing fun for tonight. Thanks for bearing with us!

Q: So I pre ordered a game on my friends home screen but on my Xbox, does that mean I don't get the game and I lost 60$?

When I downloaded the game I forgot to switch off my friend's account, does that mean that he owns the game now and I don't? I bought it on my Xbox so I should keep it right?

I have some memory of a game I played on the Nintendo64 that involved (motor) bike racing. Some details I know for sure: it had multiplayer there was some stunning level where the weather was exactly right for rainbows, as in cloudy but with a lot of sun there was some kind of desert / sand lik...

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is 66% off on Steam. An RTS/stealth game similar to the Commandos series that I highly recommend

@PrivatePansy I don't think cutting hours would be a quite effective cost measure, considering cutting 4 hours per week means you do your work 10% slower, so it takes 10% longer for everything to get done

Like, sure, you need to pay 10% less in personnel-related costs, but there are loads of costs that don't care how many people are at the office like rent and license costs, and you're going to get payment from customers about 10% slower since they need to wait 10% longer to get their products

10:33 AM

@Nzall Not necessarily, there's quite a bit of research that shows that you don't get more productivity from getting people to work longer

So if they work less time they don't always do less work

@Ronan I'm not sure how you're going to get 8 hours of work done in 4 hours

No, but doing the same work in 34 hours as compared to 38 over the course of a week is quite possible

Maybe across an entire week, so it's 40 hours of work in 36, but they're already calculating in that they're going to have 4 hours per week less

They might see an initial dip in progress, but I'm pretty confident it'd recover as people felt less stressed and less like they needed loads of breaks throughout the week

11:24 AM

@Ronan I'm not sure how you went from "working 4 hours less on Friday" to "having less breaks through the week"

Frank

11:48 AM

@Ronan That'd depend on the workload each person is given, I think.

I can see bosses heaping work on their subordinates, and when they complain they can't get it all done, all the boss says is, "No excuses, just get it done."

12:14 PM

@fredley Oh shit. Are you better? Sorry for the joke, it was insensitive

12:25 PM

@Moacir Lol it's fine. I'm getting better now. I lost 10% of my body weight in 5 days!

@Nzall People who aren't being worked as hard stay motivated longer?

banging on a table 30 hour weeks!

@Unionhawk They invented parttime work for that /s

broke: 996 (9am-9pm 6 days a week)
woke: 420 (4 hour days $20 minimum)

Like, I would love to have a 30 hour work week (work 4 days a week, choose your day off) for the same salary as a 38 hour week, but the reality is in such a situation I'd probably have to hand in about 25% of my paycheck

Oh my, I can't say -1 anymore in a comment to explain my downvote because explaining why the only and accepted answer on a question is wrong apparently isn't allowed anymore

are you sure that it isn't just "they added '-1' to the list of filtered words in comments like 'lmgtfy' etc"?

idk just throwing out ideas

Q: How do cards with "X" work?

I couldn't find any explanation inside the game. Maybe it's the number of the turns passed since the beginning of the current combat?

@Nzall you can still do that, but adding -1 to the start of the comment is not necessary and has been blocked for a while now. I personally prefer to not mention that I downvoted in those comments, I only post the criticism itself

@MadScientist The weird thing is, you can still edit a -1 into your comment

I wanted to see the error message that was shown after I already posted the comment, but apparently it wasn't stopped the second time

that sounds like bug (and I wonder if you can edit in lmgtfy)

(you probably can)

Minecraft 1.14 is out... And it already has a full modding API, a complete magic mod, and a small modpack

@moonheart08 thaumcraft?

No, not thaumcraft. Thaumcraft's stuck on 1.12 still (Plus Thaumcraft 6 is slow and boring)

it's a brand new mod, i forget the name

@moonheart08 dang. i like thaumcraft for the whole research thing but i'm still using whatever version it is for 1.7.10

ofcause any newer version and i think C.C's going to struggle

@Memor-X Thaumcraft 6's research is RNG. You won't like it.

it's not even a minigame

just RNG and a small handful of fetch quests

that you have to do over and over again

@moonheart08 so they dumped the old system where you had to map aspects?

2:45 PM

mhm

@moonheart08 shit

wands were dumped

and the eldritch tab has literally only 4 researches now

a lot of stuff has become pretty useless

i sorta want now the Thaumcraft i use to work in the new versions of Minecraft. sure i wont get aspects from new blocks but atleast i can use it in the new world gens

1.7.10 thaumcraft is the best

so my new Mice and Mousepads came in (one Black Rock Shooter featuring Black Rock Shooter and Dead Master in a loving embrace and a reprint of my Sono Hanabira one to raise my mouse at work). got one plugged into C.C now and getting used to the new shape

as much as i loved my R.A.T 9 since i can't get an upgrade or even replacement batteries (as i am swapping my home one like every ~3 hours) getting usedto the new shape and weight is just something i have to deal with

but i do like how i can set the corsair logo to be the tempiture of my video card which i learned playing Train Valley brings it up to close to 60 C (assuming the data sent to it is correct)

Q: Why do I still get shocked by these broken headphones even after applying electrical tape?

2:57 PM

As you can see, the right ear is missing after an unfortunate tumble off a meter high desk. I wrapped the exposed end with some electrical tape, but I still sometimes feel a shock when picking it up. Did I use too little tape or is there a different problem

repair headphones

In case any of you can help

Bzzzzt

would be interesting to see what colour it gets too with other older games and weather the seemingly random shutdown is a temperature issue due to the video card being old

MBraedley

@Nzall Are you getting an actual shock, or are you just feeling a bit of a buzz?

@Nzall is that end fully taped?

@MBraedley a small shock, like the kind you'd get from static

@Memor-X I think so.

MBraedley

3:02 PM

Also, I wouldn't leave the wires as an open circuit. Shorting them might cause damage to whatever is driving them, but a small resistor (anything less than 100 ohms) should be fine.

I'm editing in a close up of the tape.

Q: Can two players play Mortal Kombat 11 using single pair of joycons?

0

A lot of games for Nintendo Switch are supporting hotseat for two players using single joycon each. Now that MK11 is released on Nintendo Switch, I wonder if game supports hotseat in this manner, or if it actually needs two gamepads with full keys layout.

nintendo-switch mortal-kombat-11

@Nzall i'd take 2 pieces and have it fold over the end perpendicular like and the wrap the end again so it's sealed at the end as opposed to squeezed like that

@Ash Oh no, did you hit your head?

@fredley yep on Monday, off of a metal chair support. Earned myself a week off work and many naps (today is so far a lot of really trippy dreams). Apparently though my cyborgness helps? The shunt helps drain off any extra fluid that my brain makes so I don't increase the pressure in my head as I heal, as long as it doesn't decide to stop working (and if it does it is right back to the hospital for meeeee)
